> Superintelligence is not around the corner. OpenAI knows this and is trying to become a hyperscaler / Mag7 company with the foothold they've established and the capital that they've raised.

+1 to this. I've often wondered why OpenAI is exploring so many different product ideas if they think AGI/ASI is less than a handful of years away. If you truly believe that, you would put all your resources behind that to increase the probability / pull-in the timelines even more. However, if you internally realized that AGI/ASI is much farther away, but that there is a technology overhang with lots of products possible on existing LLM tech, then you would build up a large applications effort with ambitions to join the Mag7.
